If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

REF: A. STATE 001652 B. Taipei 01137 
 
1.  (SBU) Per reftel A request, AIT Kaohsiung visited Yeou Zheng Co. 
and a residential space used as a warehouse in downtown Kaohsiung, 
and interviewed the company's owner, Ms. Chen Mei-liu and other 
staff.  AIT/K also conducted two telephone interviews with 
Lieutenant Commander Liang Dao-hung, who is responsible procurement 
of commodities for the Ma Kung Naval Base's Taiwan Logistics 
Supporting Command (TLSC). 
 
2.  (SBU) Yeou Zheng owner, Chen Mei-liu, told AIT/K that her family 
owns three separate companies that supply goods to the Ma Kung Naval 
Base.  The three companies are: Yeou Kang which focuses on computer 
wiring installation for the Ma Kung Navy; Yeou Zheng Industry, which 
supplies the navy's general hardware Industry; and Yeou Zheng Co., 
which supplies the navy with consumer goods.  According to Chen, her 
family has been doing business with the Ma Kung Naval Base for more 
than 30 years, starting with her father-in-law.  Chen and her staff 
(Hung Yang-chun and Jill Hung) all claim familiarity with U.S. 
restrictions on the procurement of US Munitions List commodities. 
 
3.  (SBU) Chen admitted to us that Yeou Zheng has not yet received 
an order for the antenna indicated on reftel A, nor has the navy put 
out a tender for bids on the item; however, she said that she and 
her staff are very familiar with the naval base's supply needs and 
she expects the base to request those antennas within a few months, 
if not weeks.  To recap, the order for 11 (eleven) pieces of 
AS-1729/VRC Antennas are not for any current contract; rather, Yeou 
Zheng anticipates the base will need the antennas for future repairs 
that are due in 2008.  Chen went on to say that when it places 
orders, the Navy expects to take delivery of the goods within 60 
days.  However, Yeou Zheng's U.S. suppliers need 180 to 300 days 
before they can deliver goods to Yeou Zheng in Taiwan.  In order to 
meet the Taiwan navy's 60 day delivery requirement, Yeou Zheng 
orders goods in advance of even receiving a request for bids. 
 
4.  (SBU) Chen said Yeou Zheng supplied a total of 23 (twenty-three) 
AS-1729/VRC Antennas (in three separate orders/contracts) to the Ma 
Kung Naval Base in 2007.  Yeou Zheng faxed copies of the three 
contracts to AIT/K which showed the contracts were granted in 2007 
on June 14, August 21, and October 23 respectively.  Lieutenant 
Commander Liang confirmed that the Ma Kung Naval Base procured the 
23 AS-1729 VCR antennas (with NSN number 5985-00-985-9024) from Yeou 
Zheng to use during the second half of 2007.  The Navy supplied the 
antennas to two naval vessels and gave the remainder to three other 
Navy offices.  Liang confirmed that the Navy typically allows 
winning bidders up to 50 days to deliver ordered goods.  Liang told 
AIT/K that Yeou Zheng is a key supplier for the Ma Kung Naval Base. 
Liang stressed that he believes Yeou Zheng to be a reliable company. 
 Liang said the Navy has not yet determined its 2008 procurement 
plan, so he cannot confirm which items they will require in coming 
weeks and months.  He also could not confirm that Yeou Zheng would, 
in the end, submit the winning bid. 
 
5.  (SBU) Yeou Zheng's office is reasonably secure, with 
closed-circuit television cameras monitoring the outer perimeters, 
the first-floor entrance from the interior, and the first-floor 
staircase leading to the upper floors; rolling metal gates secure 
the street-level front entrance and the doors that open to the 
balcony areas.  A roof-top door stainless steel door is secured with 
a padlock.  The office is on the bottom floor of the building.  The 
remaining four floors are used as residential space, save for a 
fourth floor room that serves as the company's warehouse.  Again, 
the building appears to be sufficiently secure.
